"The face of the operation is Briatore (referred to exclusively in the film by his colleagues and angry, chanting detractors as "Flavio"), an anthropomorphic radish who spends most of his time at QPR plotting to fire all of the managers."

At press time, Harbaugh had sent Michigan’s athletic department an envelope containing a heavily annotated seating chart, a list of the 63,000 seat views he had found unsatisfactory, and a glowing 70-page report on section 25, row 12, seat 9, which he claimed is “exactly what the great sport of football is all about.”

If it made any difference, I would neg you. Then create a dozen other usernames to neg you some more. FORWARD DOWN THE FIELD! GO LIONS!

You fell victim to one of the classic blunders - The most famous of which is never get involved in a land war in Asia - but only slightly less well-known is this: Never go against a Sicilian when death is on the line!

Dude, just.... no. How can you hate the Lions? What kind of sick person wants to see them suffer any more than they already have? It's like hating the redheaded stepchild. I mean, it's not even worth it.

Lions fans are incredible. I have to hate the Lions. Just like I have to hate the Bears and Vikings. I'm a Packers fan. I'm sure every Lions fan hates the Pack as well. You guys keep talking and my team will keep winning Super Bowls.

I know they are getting better, they beat the Pack last year...blah, blah, blah. They should win a division game once in awhile. Get over it, they stink. Oh BTW, I love when they play that "Forward down the Field" when down thirty and Hanson kicks a field goal with 5 minutes left iin the game.....real classy Detroit.

Worst GM in pro football history (Mike Brown at Cinci is #2) but I think he's a decent color guy on both college and pro. And. I'll always remember his "there is a jockstrap on the filed, and it belongs to (forgot name)" call when Forcier went up the middle against ND.

"Before I could pull the trigger, I was hit by lightning, and bitten by a cobra."

I am so sick of this "Millen was a bad GM but good commentator" sentiment. Thats bullshit. You know what I like? I like it when the people talking during football games actually have a clue what they are talking about, and Millen has proven to be one of the worst evaluators of talent in the history of western civilization. So when he starts yapping about which players he likes, and for what reasons, why the fuck should I be paying attention to him? Fuck Matt Millen, he ruined my team, and its only now starting to recover. He can fucking rot in television commentator purgatory for all I care.

Dude, providing color commentary during a game is about understanding what is happening on the field at that moment, coming from the perspective of an ex-player or coach. Being a GM is about projecting a players ability to be a good NFL player for you, and about running an organization. the two have nothing to do with each other. This Lion fan meme that his awful GM performance discredits his ability to describe action on the field is the product of resentment and nothing else. Start thinking and stop lashing out a guy who's been gone for two years.

"Before I could pull the trigger, I was hit by lightning, and bitten by a cobra."

I actually think he's pretty good when calling the action on the field but I have a really hard time not wishing he would choke to death in the middle of calling a game for the crap job he did with the Lions. Unfortunately for him, he gets all the credit for that teams horrible history when really, all he did was manage to make it worse than it already was.

Yeah, apparently mandatory Millen statements aside, Gus Johnson is probably the best play by play announcer in sports today. He could make women's basketball exciting. This is a very good move by the NFL.

I didn't really mind what Millen said and did on that side of the cameras. He did seem to point out things most broadcasters would miss. But, as long as he doesn't go on to screw with any of my other favorite teams I'll be meh.
